First Employee

We hired our first official employee.  Although we have hired several contractors already, Maria is our first official employee on the payroll as registered with SAT (the IRS of Mexico).  Maria works 8 to noon each day doing many different things, but primarily cleaning and painting.  Maria is a great lady, a hard worker, and a mother of four.

Also, two men have been working at repairing and finishing the walls in the coffee shop.

In the courtyard, one of the walls bordering some neighboring houses was in desperate need of repair.  The wall is shown here, along with some of the children from Casa Vida y Esperanza and Axel Wulf (orange shirt).

Here is the new wall under construction.

This photo is from awhile ago, but it shows how we are adapting to the culture.  Here is how we transported the six-meter drain pipes that we used in the meat processing room.

And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. – 1 Corinthians 13:3.
